Question
Chapter 18, Problem 1CQ
To determine
Whether a chemical element is same as a chemical compound.
Expert Solution & Answer
Answer to Problem 1CQ
A chemical element is not same as a chemical compound.
Explanation of Solution
An element is defined as any substance that contain only one type of atom. They are made of atoms which are the smallest particles that has any properties of the elements. Elements are arranged in the periodic table.
Compounds are substances formed by combination of elements. There are different types of compounds such as metallic and non-metallic. The examples of compounds are water, sugar, ammonia etc.
Even though chemical compounds are combination of chemical elements, the properties of compounds can be quite different from that of the constituent elements. The same elements can be combined in different ways to form different compounds.
Conclusion:
Thus a chemical element is not same as a chemical compound.
